大众最新发布的新一代Polo已经提供了全数字仪表群，因此新一代奔驰A级车提供此类配置也就毫不奇怪了。最近谍照记者拍到了下一代A级车内装照片，显示即便是低价版本也将提供数字仪表群。虽然奔驰E级和S级车型提供的是12.3英寸大尺寸仪表群，但A级车的仪表群尺寸要小得多。不过，考虑到这只是一辆测试车，因此数字仪表群可能是临时安装上去的，最终量产版的尺寸会更大。车内的空调出风口设计与E级轿跑车和敞篷车类似，但中间只有三个而不是四个出风口。仪表板的物理按键数量更少，更多功能被集成进更炫酷的新的信息娱乐系统内。另外，车内还采用了新的三辐方向盘，中控台空调出风口旁边是引擎启动按键。预计内装布局与其他采用MFA2平台的车型一样，车厢内空间更宽敞，而车身尺寸也显著增加，长度和宽度都获得提升。奔驰很可能会在明年发布新一代A级掀背车，随后很快将推出轿车版。

New Mercedes A-Class Caught With Dual Digital Screens

With even mainstream small cars such as the new VW Polo getting an all-digital instrument cluster, it doesn’t come as a surprise the premium Mercedes A-Class will lose the analog dials for its next iteration. It won’t get rid of them entirely as it’s safe to assume the cheaper versions of the range will still boast a conventional setup considering you can still have it on the base E-Class.

While the much more expensive E- and S-Class models have a pair of 12.3-inch screens, the ones installed on this A-Class prototype seem to be of a significantly smaller size. That being said, it might just be a provisional setup and the final car will have bigger screens.

The air vent design is similar to what the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet have, but with only three (instead of four) vents in the middle. Very few physical controls are noticeable on the dashboard, and that’s because most of the functions are going to be incorporated in the swanky new infotainment system. We can also catch a glimpse of the three-spoke steering wheel and the start/stop button installed on the central dash next to the air vent.

Expect to see just about the same layout in all of Mercedes’ MFA2-based cars, such as the CLA and the first-ever A-Class Sedan, just to name a few. The interior cabin is likely to become more spacious as a result of an increased footprint already noticeable on this prototype, which seems to be not only longer, but also wider as well.

The A-Class hatchback will likely be the first to see the light of day at some point in 2018 and will be followed shortly by the sedan already confirmed for United States along with the four-door AMG GT.
